S, true. This is not a cycling specific bottle and not sold as one. This bottle was originally marketed as a running bottle as it was sold with a black run run strap that had a key clip inside a zippered pocket and elastic pouch for holding a gel or two. For some reason, CamelBak decided to discontinue the run strap and sell the bottle as is. It still has good features though I wish it was insulated. Besides the features I previously mentioned, it allows you to bite or squeeze while sucking fluid without tilting your head back. Excellent for trail running or any activity where it's good to not take your eyes off the trail or rock face. Also the loop allows you to hook it in the crook of your finger on the opposite hand while slamming a gel. Overall a great bottle!

Good bottle for the $

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

bought this bottle as a gift for a family member, very durable bottle for the price, for a bottle that isn't insulated these things are great, don't have to worry about dropping it like with some other bottles all plastic. I have one myself, and i love the bite valves that camelbak uses, no drip, no mess.

I like it!

Familiarity: I've used it several times

I like this water bottle. It's lightweight and clips to my daypack. The only problem with it is that I drank some lemonade out of it once and ever since (despite washing it many times), I still get a hint of that lemonade... It'd be 5 stars if it wasn't for that. :)

Handy and durable

Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer

I bought these for my daughters who play travel volleyball and are not known for taking care of things. 30 seconds after my youngest daughter took it out of the plastic, she dropped it on the ceramic tile...it bounced. I just smiled and said "Perfect".

I hated my last bottle so I wasn't going to get my hopes up on the next one I bought but I have to say I love this bottle. Yeah it's not insulated or anything like that but its great for work or out on the trail. It is light weight so it won't weight 5 lbs with water.

Great for trail running...

If you're like me and don't like a pack swishing and shifting on your back or waist, this is for you. Easy and quick to refill, lt weight and simple to hydrate. No tilting your head back taking your eyes off the trail. Just suck on the mouth piece and your good to go.

It seals well and does not leak. I've had two in blue for over a year and only one has a minor leak around the lid (My fault). I'm rough on my equipment. Just make sure to hand wash in the sink and clean the straw and mouth piece with a brush. If you have to put them in the dish washer, place on top rack.

Clip works well and will also allow you to hook it in the crook of your finger on the opposite hand while slamming a gel.

My favorite water bottle

This is my favorite water bottle. I like that I can take it on shorter trail runs and not have to take my eyes off of the trail when I want a drink. I can fill it with ice (using regular ice cubes from the freezer). I've never tried to freeze it, but considering that drinks freeze from the top of the liquid down, so unless you freeze the entire amount of liquid in the bottle, it should still be fine.

It blasts the perfect amount of drink into my mouth with a gentle draw and squeeze on the bottle. I couldn't be happier with this bottle.

The only thing that I don't like, is that someone at CamelBak told me in an email that they're discontinuing this bottle. It was in response to their selling the bottle with a bottle strap for use while running. They said that the strap and bottle combo will change to using the CamelBak Podium bottle, so hopefully the person from CamelBak just meant that the Performance bottle will only not be sold with the strap anymore, but will hopefully still be made and sold. If it's going to be discontinued, I'm going to buy several more.

Review Title

This bottle rules. It has the bite valve and straw to make it an adult sippy-cup. The polypro bottle is soft as well so you can wrench on it for a faster drink to get back to breathing when you're exercising.

The common complaint can be fixed with a little adjustment. temperature change, elevation change or carbonation will cause it to build up pressure inside and slowly force the liquid out of the bite valve (air bubble on top grows, forces liquid up straw...). remove the straw and it will never happen

If you run it through the dishwasher, clean any dishwasher debris out from under the silicone umbrella valve on the inside of the cap.

Great cycling bottle

It has served its purpose well for cycling. I'll put my energy drinks in this while my hydration pack is used for water. The bottle has been very durable, easy to use when on the go and I always love it when there is a spot to clip a carabiner. When I'm not on my bike I use the better bottle for workouts.

Leaky!

I bought some Camelbak Better bottles for drinking out of at home, and some of these Performance bottles for taking in the car. It sits in my cupholder and the water somehow gets sucked up into the top and leaks out. I come back to a big puddle in my cupholder and a wet bottle to throw in my napsack. Not good. Also, because this twists to open, instead of fliping like the Better bottle, my three year olds are not coordinated enough to open it on their own. When I started carrying the better bottle in the car I didn't have the hassle of reaing around to open it for them.
